The junior welterweight fight will be televised as part of a split site doubleheader live on Εγκιβωτισμός HBO μετά Dark®, ξεκινώντας από 9:45 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/PT.

Matthysse has been training out his gym in Argentina and Provodinkov has been training out of the famed Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, California under the watchful eye of International Boxing Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach.

Both fighters arrived at Turning Stone Resort Casino today and took some time to do a photo-op at the hotel and answer a few questions about their training camp.

Below is what they had to say:

How do you feel about the fight and when did you begin training?

Lucas Matthysse: I have been training non-stop, way before the fight was officially announced. I have been doing a lot of sparring to improve my speed and make sure I make as much contact with my opponent as possible.

Ruslan Provodnikov: I am excited and motivated for this fight, I will not disappoint my fans and it will be a real war! Everything is going great with my training and will be ready for a really war in the ring.

How are you preparing to face each other?

Matthysse: Ruslan is a great fighter, he comes prepared for a war. My strategy against him will be to make sure to box and keep moving, that is why sparring has been really important in my training.

Provodnikov: I will be ready for whatever Matthysse does. Εγώ 100% percent believe that this fight will be the fight of the year. I always give everything I can in training camp and I’m very responsible. Δεν παίρνω ελαφρά κανέναν, αλλά για να απαντήσω στην ερώτησή σας: walking into the ring with a fighter that I know will fight back will definitely show that what I can do as a boxer than going up against a fighter who will just run.

What should fans expect to see on Απρίλιος 18?

Matthysse: Fans can expect one of the greatest fights in the division. I know I am ready to win this fight and fans should expect a victory.

Provodnikov: Υπόσχομαι ότι αυτό πρόκειται να είναι ο αγώνας που εσείς όλοι περιμένουν.
